Packing Up + Blogs of Fellow Travelers

Having just come home from my family's California trip this morning (driving all night is lame, but at least I'm home now), I've been packing furiously since then. You can see the results below:

I'm almost done, but I'm a bit of a messy packer, I'm ashamed to admit. I just need to buy a couple more things and then I'll be good to go. The hardest part is going to be getting a present for my host family at the end of the two-month period. Anyone have any ideas? I'm totally open to them!

Anyways, I just discovered that a few of the other students I'm traveling to Merida with also will be detailing our group adventure from their own perspectives. So, here are their blogs below so you can follow them or simply read up on their versions of the stories I tell here:

The Whole Enchilada - Laura Payne's blog

Laura vs. The World - Laura Deveraux's blog

Brooke's Mérida, México Adventure - Brooke Weenig's blog

Hot Butter on a Zebra's Back - Cody Bringham's blog

Fifty Days in Mexico - Alannah Autrey's blog

Gayleen on a Yucatecan Rampage - Gayleen Brown's blog

If any others in my group start up blogs, I'll update this post with the URLs to those blogs.

Hasta la vista, folks! :)
